"We want to face a different scenario with Bayern and get into the game to show that we want to win it.

"The table of the Premier League of first and second 45 minutes is very different. That shows our qualities are very good, because when teams tire a little bit we are able to [score], but also that we are not ready from the off to do what we want right from the start."

Arsenal go into the clash on the back of a shock FA Cup fifth round loss to lower-league Blackburn, which has thrown fresh doubt over Arsene Wenger’s handling of club affairs as a Champions League exit will mark the end of the side's quest for silverware for an eighth season in a row.

But, Arteta insists that the team will play with renewed vigour in such a high-profile clash following the shock defeat on Saturday.

"It gives you extra motivation because you are facing top players and a top club and you want to show how good you are against them," he said.

"We have a great test now and we want to face that with the maximum desire and a positivity around the squad and go out there and win it."
